This one has actually been ready for months but I've been too busy with other things to give it proper attention. Tulare will hit stores June 1st and the website soon after. Exciting!<br /><br />This is my first collaborative scent with my husband, <a href="http://rootstrata.com/rootblog/?p=6599">Jonathan Sielaff</a>. I made Victory Wolf for him but Tulare is the first fragrance we've set out to make together. As OLO grows, he will play a larger role in the business. I have finally made the last steps in leaving my old career behind to focus on making perfume. Until now, OLO has been a side project so I'm excited for Jonathan to help me take the business to the next level. He has worked in tea and coffee for years so his sense of smell is already well developed. In some ways, much more developed than mine! We go on walks just to smell things. Weirdo's. So, welcome Jonathan to OLO!<br /><br />Anyway, about Tulare. Jonathan lived in Tulare county California very briefly as a child. He has a particular memory of playing deep in the orange groves. He would be surrounded by the smell of warm earth, dry grass and sun baked oranges. There was always the faintest trace of jasmine wafting up the hill from the houses below. The sun would drift low in the horizon and all of these things combined smelled golden. When Jonathan thinks of California he thinks of this smell. <br /><br />Instead of a monthly giveaway I am offering a free 1ml sample of Tulare with any online purchase from now until May 31st.<br /><br />XO<br />Heatherolofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-64007991306415015742012-03-24T12:37:00.005-07:002012-03-24T13:30:10.642-07:00Candle Collaboration<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i0D-4gY6WMk/T24uUnFI1eI/AAAAAAAAAcw/xY1Z2bSIlAY/s1600/photo%252812%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-i0D-4gY6WMk/T24uUnFI1eI/AAAAAAAAAcw/xY1Z2bSIlAY/s320/photo%252812%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5723563108057273826" border="0" /></a><br /> I met Jason, owner and creator of <a href="http://2550degrees.com/"> 2550 Degrees Artisanal Candles</a>, last month at the House Spirits event we both participated in. I love his candles! They are named and inspired by different personalities of men. I brought Clive home with me. A warm blend of tobacco, black tea and vetivert with a hint of bergamot, Clive is one of my all time favorite scented candles! Although, I'm also into the smokey leather and whiskey style of Joe. I just can't decide!<br /><br />OLO customers are always asking for candles and I've definitely considered taking the project on. I love candles hard but I have no interest in actually making them myself. I am messy enough when I make perfume so I don't want to even imagine what I would do pouring candles! Jason and I have a very similar approach to fragrance so we have decided to join forces to create a complimentary candle and perfume set. We have finally nailed down our fragrance profile. Let the blending begin! More details will be available soon.<br /><br />XO<br />Heatherolofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-1500938134864763362012-03-19T16:50:00.002-07:002012-03-19T16:53:33.263-07:00Old post, still entirely true.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--9GkMMz1jyI/T2fG9oi4vGI/AAAAAAAAAcY/Dvv5to5gpQk/s1600/photo%25288%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--9GkMMz1jyI/T2fG9oi4vGI/AAAAAAAAAcY/Dvv5to5gpQk/s320/photo%25288%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721760613755567202" border="0" /></a><br /> <a name="3218733107251600167"></a> <h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="http://olofragrance.blogspot.com/2010/03/spring-is-hereah-ha-ha-haha-ha.html">Spring is here...Ah ha ha haha ha!</a> </h3> <div class="post-header"> </div> Almost every February/March here in Portland we receive what is referred to as the "Fake Out". It appears as if Spring has ambled it's way right around the corner. The sun is out, the skies are blue. Birds chirp and children play outside. The whitest people in the world frolic happily in public parks wearing next to nothing in terms of clothing. All the ennui of the rainy season is forgotten. Totally forgotten. We all know it's too good to be true but the collective optimism of Spring pushes us forward like a parade of innocents. We stumble bleary eyed from cozy coffee houses and sour smelling bars and bask in vitamin D. "Fake Out 2010" has been particularly cruel. Flowers had the audacity to bloom. The stamp of Spring. So very cruel. However, some good has come of this...Daphne. Daphne has been blooming all over my neighborhood and it is my mission to bottle it's essence. I am obsessed. As the rains fall upon us once again, I will hole up in my apartment and try to recreate "Fake out 2010". Wish me luck.<br /><br />XO<br />Heatherolofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-80801721728812958772012-03-12T14:52:00.002-07:002012-03-12T14:55:11.399-07:00Shangri-la<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TXTiN2aoaY8/T15wuetharI/AAAAAAAAAcM/Ebd3WzcSFIc/s1600/shangriLAforweb.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 298px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TXTiN2aoaY8/T15wuetharI/AAAAAAAAAcM/Ebd3WzcSFIc/s320/shangriLAforweb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719132520627399346" border="0" /></a><br />as described by <a href="http://teamyacht.com/">YACHT</a><br /><br />“brooding, unisex, hazed fragrance, mixing regretful tip records of jasmine, vetiver, ylang yang, as well as hiba wood, with the bottom of misty cade, sumac, peruvian balsam as well as siam wood.

Like other art forms, it is a very much about personal interpretation. I'm not even referring to the actual notes of the perfume. It's often more about the feeling or memory each smell conjures up. I'm so interested in how every person has a very specific reason for wearing the perfume they choose to wear. They find the smell pleasant but it is often something else that compels them to wear it daily or on certain occasions.<br /><br /> People often tell me what their favorite perfume smells like to them. Sometimes I have no idea where these descriptions are coming from. Often though, I'm inclined to say, "you know, I never thought of it before but Victory Wolf actually really does smell like that!" I was recently told of the description a young man gave for the new <a href="http://teamyacht.com/">YACHT </a>anointing oil..."It smells like Bible Camp burning down!" I was delighted. Simple, personal and right on the nose. I never would have described it that way though!<br /><br />For the March giveaway, describe your favorite OLO fragrance. It can be short and to the point or an epic novel. I will be using these on the website so just know that. The prize will be any 9ml OLO fragrance you want. The winner will be announced March 16th!<br /><br />Uh oh, I forgot to announce the winner! Names were drawn at random. Thank you all for participating! The winner is...Caroline!!!!!olofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-2612701751701482692012-02-14T12:39:00.000-08:002012-02-14T12:46:46.621-08:00Marlow Goods<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ClxlxqDxB1E/TzrH6hUrkZI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/Z2CO8biSXfU/s1600/photo%25283%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ClxlxqDxB1E/TzrH6hUrkZI/AAAAAAAAAbQ/Z2CO8biSXfU/s320/photo%25283%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709095285836976530" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lP4MFWKIW4M/TzrGyw4oZoI/AAAAAAAAAbE/uYsgiM4tX1k/s1600/photo%2B3%25282%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lP4MFWKIW4M/TzrGyw4oZoI/AAAAAAAAAbE/uYsgiM4tX1k/s320/photo%2B3%25282%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709094053063714434" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3R6HaY12_BY/TzrGse7zE3I/AAAAAAAAAa4/JoFzN7riGug/s1600/photo%2B1.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3R6HaY12_BY/TzrGse7zE3I/AAAAAAAAAa4/JoFzN7riGug/s320/photo%2B1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709093945165943666" border="0" /></a><br /><br />As most people are well aware, there is a portal that directly connects Portland, OR to Brooklyn, NY. They have a lot of similarities to be located so far from one another. I have tons of friends that move back and forth between the two places and I often run into people I haven't seen in years while walking around Williamsburg. I feel perfectly at home when visiting. I've also grown to love a few stores and restaurants over the years and I always make sure I pay a visit on my travels. <a href="http://marlowandsons.com/">Marlow &amp; Sons</a> became a favorite years ago and I always eat at <a href="http://dinernyc.com/">Diner</a> at least one time per trip.<br /><br /><a href="http://marlowgoods.com/">Marlow Goods</a> is my newest love. This latest incarnation of Marlow &amp; Sons takes the commitment to serve only 100% grass-fed meat one step further. They have developed a whole animal program, creating quality, handcrafted goods from the animal hides they butcher in house. The leather bags are tanned from the hides of the pigs and cows served in the restaurant. Wool from some of the lambs and ewes is turned into yarn, sweaters, blankets and rugs. I'm getting the hand-loomed wool blanket if it's the last thing I do!<br /><br />This little general store is located in the front of Marlow &amp; Sons restaurant. If you find yourself in need of some OLO, it is situated on a little shelf amongst all of these other goodies. Marlow Goods is the only store on the East coast offering the OLO fragrance 100% pure essential oil line. Lavender, Peppermint and Port Orford Cedar are all sourced here in the PNW. These are the perfect oils to scent a bath or just inhale when fighting off a cold. Marlow Goods also stocks the Argan Oil Hair Tonic and a few perfumes if you need to get your apothecary on!<br /><br />Go visit!olofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-18236936576328639882012-02-14T10:41:00.003-08:002012-03-08T21:45:03.103-08:00Shangri-la Anointing Oil<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U67xzgl3Q3c/Tzspz989ylI/AAAAAAAAAbc/9CFRNIxn8dI/s1600/shangriLAforweb.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 298px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-U67xzgl3Q3c/Tzspz989ylI/AAAAAAAAAbc/9CFRNIxn8dI/s320/shangriLAforweb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5709202925402573394" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">How Shangri-la (the scent) came to be.</span><br /><br />Claire and Jona, of <a href="http://teamyacht.com/">YACHT</a>, have been supporters of OLO for a while. Victory Wolf is one of their favorite scents. I wanted to make a smell for them but I was too shy to ask. While corresponding via the interwebs one day Claire asked me if I wanted to make a fragrance for the new release of Shangri-la. Um, yes please.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">What is the pretty blue bottle?</span><br /><br />An anointing oil. My initial thoughts regarding this collaboration was that this would not necessarily be a perfume. This oil was specifically created to be applied when listening to YACHT's Shangri-la.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">What does it smell like?</span><br /><br />According to YACHT, " Very good. It’s a brooding, unisex, smoky fragrance, combining romantic top notes of jasmine, vetiver, ylang yang, and hiba wood, with a base of hazy cade, sumac, peruvian balsam and siam wood. The result hovers in the air like a change in the weather, like flower offerings smashed recklessly on the ground in a temple on fire. It unfolds quietly, moving softly from the bright floral tones to its own dark underbelly. It’s for everyone."<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">What was the image OLO had in mind when creating this scent?</span><br /><br />I felt compelled to capture the idea of ceremony or ritual. The image I had was reminiscent of the stories of Egyptian temple dancers. They wore wax headdresses infused with essential oils. When they danced, the heat from their bodies would melt the wax and anoint them with the oils.<br /><br />The first image I had when listening to Shangri-la was of young people dancing around flames. They are covered head to toe with giant white flowers. They dance all night. The air is thick, the ground stomped flat with flower petals and soot. The sun rises to a beautiful mess.<br /><br />Shangri-la is currently only available on the <a href="http://teamyacht.com/events/">YACHT tour</a> and <a href="http://teamyacht.com/">website</a>. A list of select stores stocking this scent will be available shortly. Either go to a show and purchase it at the merch table or cultivate patience, both are rewarding exercises for your spirit.olofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-75678542851637708412012-01-21T17:21:00.000-08:002012-01-21T17:28:30.194-08:00February giveaway<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4fHwSrcx0M4/TxtlYcpx3jI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/yEuYND26CIc/s1600/photo%252811%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4fHwSrcx0M4/TxtlYcpx3jI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/yEuYND26CIc/s320/photo%252811%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700261224050187826" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-asHzCYF0YNs/TxtlP37VmuI/AAAAAAAAAZw/6_ScpqFqxko/s1600/photo%25288%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-asHzCYF0YNs/TxtlP37VmuI/AAAAAAAAAZw/6_ScpqFqxko/s320/photo%25288%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700261076752767714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QK9UIgDdcZI/Txtk_t8ixRI/AAAAAAAAAZk/NTNBB2_643c/s1600/photo%25289%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QK9UIgDdcZI/Txtk_t8ixRI/AAAAAAAAAZk/NTNBB2_643c/s320/photo%25289%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700260799195563282" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-In5hpQol2ps/Txtk6dNXSKI/AAAAAAAAAZY/YJC5aDMg0ew/s1600/photo%25287%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-In5hpQol2ps/Txtk6dNXSKI/AAAAAAAAAZY/YJC5aDMg0ew/s320/photo%25287%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700260708803365026" border="0" /></a><br />Make a guess who this anointing oil is for and win a free 5ml bottle.

Top secret still but I'm really, really into this one. Very unconventional. It appears that 2012 will be dragging OLO out of the forests of the PNW and into the sun.

I've been so busy doing events and filling holiday orders! I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel. Don't get me wrong, I've been enjoying myself and absolutely love filling orders. I just haven't had the time to work on anything new lately. I have so many ideas and I so look forward to the rainy winter months in Portland. Everyone really settles in and creates. It's the perfect weather to be completely selfish with your craft. No one expects you to come out and be social!<br /><br />I have three collaborations in the works. One in Portland, one in Toronto and the other in NYC. I also did one with my husband Jonathan, of<a href="http://goldenretriever.bandcamp.com/"> Golden Retriever</a>. He is always giving input on the fragrances as I work but this was the first time he brought his vision to the table. I can't wait to finish it!<br /><br />Stayed tuned...olofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-15959131984979115652011-12-06T14:57:00.000-08:002011-12-06T15:13:40.303-08:00Portland Bazaar<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b2eeCT42Sj0/Tt6hns5SqYI/AAAAAAAAAWU/al6U3nOGJr8/s1600/bottle%2Bwhite%2B2%2Bweb.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b2eeCT42Sj0/Tt6hns5SqYI/AAAAAAAAAWU/al6U3nOGJr8/s320/bottle%2Bwhite%2B2%2Bweb.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683157483226573186" border="0" /></a><br />Come visit me this weekend at <a href="http://portlandbazaar.com/">Portland Bazaar</a>, December 10-11 from 9am-6pm.

Combining Alison's obsession with the smell of a freshly scoured bathroom and my need to cover any and all offensive odors...we present DEUX.<br /><br />You know I like a good forest smell. The oils of cedar and pine are mighty neutralizers and are the main components. DEUX is available for a limited run for the low low price of $30. It should be on my website in the next few days. I will also deliver to <a href="http://palacestore.com/">Palace</a> and <a href="http://francesmay.com/">Frances May</a> this week.olofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-18214390765498151192011-11-18T21:29:00.000-08:002011-11-18T21:34:17.253-08:00just some things we will have at OFB...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lmwvZHD2YgE/Tsc_xJ_-KxI/AAAAAAAAAV8/qo2Bak9Gb-I/s1600/OFB_Main_WebRes.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lmwvZHD2YgE/Tsc_xJ_-KxI/AAAAAAAAAV8/qo2Bak9Gb-I/s320/OFB_Main_WebRes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676575969054173970" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q-3-_6b_Su8/Tsc_lRBnnnI/AAAAAAAAAVw/4JJjFjymRbc/s1600/mini_creamer_main.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Q-3-_6b_Su8/Tsc_lRBnnnI/AAAAAAAAAVw/4JJjFjymRbc/s320/mini_creamer_main.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676575764781702770" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6fGE0PDCDSI/Tsc_b45VqOI/AAAAAAAAAVk/rYxoq430aO4/s1600/leatherbaggu6.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 232px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-6fGE0PDCDSI/Tsc_b45VqOI/AAAAAAAAAVk/rYxoq430aO4/s320/leatherbaggu6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676575603685697762" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u5mH_G1YsEI/Tsc_QU1CPgI/AAAAAAAAAVY/89GRkIhUs9E/s1600/PILLOW_WoodlandAdv_HI.jpeg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u5mH_G1YsEI/Tsc_QU1CPgI/AAAAAAAAAVY/89GRkIhUs9E/s320/PILLOW_WoodlandAdv_HI.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676575405025410562" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JlKEYocpEZs/Tsc_FA2BvBI/AAAAAAAAAVM/dKdFKmuig6Q/s1600/hexvolume7_low.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 313px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JlKEYocpEZs/Tsc_FA2BvBI/AAAAAAAAAVM/dKdFKmuig6Q/s320/hexvolume7_low.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676575210682301458" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-of4udolhdNM/Tsc-5SidHMI/AAAAAAAAAVA/cVmSzojD9-E/s1600/fredericksmaearrows.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 215px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-of4udolhdNM/Tsc-5SidHMI/AAAAAAAAAVA/cVmSzojD9-E/s320/fredericksmaearrows.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5676575009273617602" border="0" /></a>olofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-83942888298429957272011-11-16T22:42:00.000-08:002011-11-16T23:00:52.400-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yGfn2AlRYQE/TsSw8ED0G1I/AAAAAAAAAU0/sZTrWW0VmJ4/s1600/areawaredeskset.png"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i7qsCn_jOiQ/TsSs_nWpFwI/AAAAAAAAAUo/KiBA566C5GI/s1600/OFB_ORNGBADGE_WebRes.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i7qsCn_jOiQ/TsSs_nWpFwI/AAAAAAAAAUo/KiBA566C5GI/s320/OFB_ORNGBADGE_WebRes.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5675851639289353986" border="0" /></a> The holiday's are just not busy enough for me! Hours on end bottling those teeny tiny sample vials leave me feeling so refreshed I thought, "why not co-curate a three day long shopping event"? Just a little something extra to ring in the festivities! So, Alison Hawley of <a href="http://blog.thisisnicework.com/">Nice Work</a> and I teamed up to bring some of our favorite Portland artisans together under one roof. Located at the Cleaners at the Ace Hotel, <a href="http://openforbusinesspdx.com/">Open for Business</a> will be the chance retail encounter of your dreams. We aim to be the little boutique with a heart of gold. You will fall in love and then <span style="font-style: italic;">poof</span>, we will be gone!<br /><br />Our collaborative room spray, DEUX, will also be sold exclusively at this event. More on that later.<br /><br />We open shop Black Friday, the 25th through Sunday the 27th. Hours are 11am-6pm. Come get your shop on.olofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-88497072164787724692011-11-01T17:42:00.000-07:002011-11-01T18:03:17.847-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://catbirdnyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/catbird_unscene-300x180.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 180px;" src="http://catbirdnyc.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/catbird_unscene-300x180.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I took a little vacation to NYC a few weeks ago. I also got a little work done while I was there! Fans of OLO had given me the name of some boutiques to check out and I was more than happy to do so. It must be said that I do not like approaching stores to carry my line. I've done it a handful of times but it gives me such anxiety! I've been really lucky to have some great stores seek me out and it feels more natural given the type of carefully curated shops I prefer.<br /><br />So, the day after I stopped into <a href="http://catbirdnyc.com/">Catbird</a>( I didn't talk to anyone), Leigh contacted me for samples and wholesale info. Catbird had been one of my favorite stores. How's that for meant to be? Such a happy coincidence. I sent samples, they liked and now you can get OLO at <a href="http://catbirdnyc.com/">Catbird</a> in Williamsburg!olofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-79341661426261684432011-11-01T11:04:00.000-07:002011-11-01T11:08:09.576-07:00The November winner is...Amelia!

Some definitely lean a little masculine or feminine but my intention has never been for any of my blends to be categorized that way. I love creating perfume that can be easily worn by anyone.<br /><br />I have been pleasantly surprised by how well received OLO has been by men. I've had so many guys tell me how much they love what I create. I'm noticing more and more how much guys are really into fragrance. I'm sorry I haven't paid more attention to you fellas!<br /><br />OLO will now be available at <a href="http://mrleesgeneralstore.com/">Mr. Lee's General Store &amp; Haberdashery</a>. All the dashing gentleman in Vancouver, BC must shop there. Mr. Lee's seems to have quite an assortment of unique wares. Everything from apothecary items to clothing. Pretty much anything a man needs! I'm happy OLO has found a home at such a well curated establishment.<br /><br />olofragrance@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734825881212463743.post-25654869763913022482011-10-10T11:00:00.000-07:002011-10-10T11:10:18.205-07:00Cape Lookout, OR<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l33UVculucw/TpM090-TDgI/AAAAAAAAASk/CmcdJDk5Suo/s1600/photo%25287%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-l33UVculucw/TpM090-TDgI/AAAAAAAAASk/CmcdJDk5Suo/s320/photo%25287%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661927393331449346" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5wV_fo6Mclg/TpM0wyyZQYI/AAAAAAAAASc/bVlgWGeB7PA/s1600/photo%252813%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5wV_fo6Mclg/TpM0wyyZQYI/AAAAAAAAASc/bVlgWGeB7PA/s320/photo%252813%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661927169406353794" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XDqPKYg3TCU/TpMz6fJdUII/AAAAAAAAASU/4Lj9jSydN_w/s1600/photo%252812%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XDqPKYg3TCU/TpMz6fJdUII/AAAAAAAAASU/4Lj9jSydN_w/s320/photo%252812%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661926236421443714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hv70Y74E5Oc/TpMz0ugfw-I/AAAAAAAAASM/Oo8fRQ02rA8/s1600/photo%252810%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hv70Y74E5Oc/TpMz0ugfw-I/AAAAAAAAASM/Oo8fRQ02rA8/s320/photo%252810%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661926137465390050" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PELmpXeZCIE/TpMzt2z9CyI/AAAAAAAAASE/Foh6Imga0_I/s1600/photo%25289%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PELmpXeZCIE/TpMzt2z9CyI/AAAAAAAAASE/Foh6Imga0_I/s320/photo%25289%2529.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661926019435399970" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SLBDKZvgdhw/TpMzd7Y5RNI/AAAAAAAAAR0/fztChqlh7_w/s1600/photo%25286%2529.JPG"><br /></a><br />Another amazing walk through the woods yesterday.
